Saving up to 60% of Energy With The Precision Cooling SmartAisle ™ Configuration

2 AgendaAgenda What’s Containment? How to get Energy Efficiency? Focus on Emerson Network Power solution Energy saving: In the Row cooling Floor Mount Direct Expansion Chilled Water System

3 What’s Containment? HOTCOLD It means to contain different zones using mechanical and real barriers What does “Containment” mean? What can be “Contained”? Hot Aisle Cold Aisle Hot & Cold Aisles

4 Why Containment? Air always goes the easiest way! Without containment there is a fast recirculation of warm air from the rear side of racks to their front side

5 Traditional Air Cooling Troubles 10°- 15°C

6 The First Step: Containment 20°- 26°C

7 Containment: How To Provide Energy Efficiency? Q QiQi QiQi QiQi QiQi QiQi QiQi High energy efficient solutions have to control the airflow in order to have the following: S Qi = Q Q QiQi QiQi QiQi QiQi QiQi QiQi How to control the airflow? PRESSURE control in the raised floor PRESSURE control at rack level

8 Why Not Just Containment? Servers are not getting enough air Risk of hot air intrusion into cold aisle Over-blowing server fans Low efficiency Reducing server fans lifetime

9 Containment: Pressure Control In The Raised Floor Airflow is controlled to meet servers’ required flow Airflow is controlled using pressure sensor and variable speed fans are needed What about this solution? High Availability In case of Unit failure In case of gaps in access floor tiles Lower Energy Efficiency Higher pressure in the floor void Overpressure in Cold Aisle Emerson Network Power can offer this solution too….anyway we prefer to suggest a more EFFICIENT solution, having the control in front of servers! See next slides

10 Pressure Control At Rack Level The space inside the containment can be compared to a glass of water. We have to grant it is always full of water: not too little, not too much! Patented Solution

11 SmartAisle ™ Control Logic Max 3xT&H sensors for temperature and humidity reading Each value, Temperature and Humidity, can independently be enabled for controlling Sensors are located in the calibrated holes The average or the highest value is calculated in accordance with the number of enabled sensors

12 SmartAisle ™ VS Competitors: Airflow Control Simple Containment with Pressure Control SmartAisle ™ Be The Critical Difference !! Too Low AirflowUnit Airflow = Server Airflow No risks for Hot Spot, Hot Air recirculation Too High AirflowUnit Airflow matches Server Airflow No waste of any single Watt for moving useless air Common Cascade Smart Cascade: always works with EC Fan at minimum speed Save a lot of energy having EC Fans in their best working point

13 SmartAisle ™ VS Competitors: Pressure Control Simple Containment with Pressure Control SmartAisle ™ Be The Critical Difference !! Usually works with floor pressure >20-25 Pa Minimized raised floor pressure (<15Pa) No waste of any single Watt moving useless air Pressure in the cold aisle difficult/impossible to be maintained  usually using overpressure No or Minimal overpressure in the hot aisle (<5Pa) Servers Fans life is not impacted (no overpressure for server fans)

14 SmartAisle ™ Control VS Competitors: Reliability Simple Containment with Pressure Control SmartAisle ™ Be The Critical Difference !! Control temperature and humidity in the unit or near to it Control Temperature and Humidity in the Aisle Our Precision cooling units take care of customer’s servers Additional equipment (points of failure) like tubes and baffles plates in the raised floor Simple architecture: high reliability and redundancy. Up to 3 remote sensors per one unit to be connected Simpler means easier If Master fails each Unit works as standalone / basic level of Networking (depends on manufacturer) Unique solution: Floating Master The cooling system will always take care of IT equipment

15 SmartAisle ™ : Best Efficiency for Aisle Contaiment Pressure control results on higher fan speed, more air losses and this impacts on System Efficiency SmartAisle provides the BEST EFFICIENCY in case of Aisle Containment White Paper Showing the Difference between Smart Aisle and Pressure Control
